Camden Art Centre

Last Saturday, I went to Camden Art Centre in Finchley Road for the first time. An exhibition called 'A World of Glass' by swedish artist Nathalie Djurberg was held at the time.

The show space was filled with glass like objects and four claymation films were played in two rooms. The glass like objects were so beautiful under lighting in the dark rooms. By contrast, the claymation films seemed eerie even if there were animal shaped characters in the film. I think it was because of the films' subjects, maybe sexuality, violence, and brutality, and the sound composed by artist's collaborator Hans Berg, which evoke strange atmosphere in the whole space. It was an unusual moment as if I was lost in unknown world.
